I'm not talking about beating your children. I'm not saying use paddles and belts (like was used on every child born before Y2K). I just want to know, why is it not ok to spank your child. Sometimes, that's the only thing that works.
I'm not sure about some people but when my 3 year old can't have her way, and decides to spit on me, kick me, or scratch me (assuming this behavior is coming from daycare), I'm not going to sit down with her and go. Ok sweetie pie, mommy didn't like that. That hurts mommies feelings. Why do you think you did that to mommy? Are you angry with Mommy? Blah Blah Blah!! Give me a break. She will get a pop on the rear and told it is not nice to spit, kick, pinch or scratch. I would then tell her if it happends again she will lose a toy and go in timeout. Guess what, she still loves me!!! She still cuddles up with me and tells me she loves me as i do her, everyday.
Let me know what you think. Spank or no spank
